Anaesthetic management strategies may include: Point-of-care gastric ultrasound to assess stomach contents before proceeding with anaesthesia Use of rapid sequence induction techniques with cricoid pressure to minimise aspiration risk Clear-fluid diet for 24 hours before surgery in higher-risk patients Consideration of regional or local anaesthesia alternatives when appropriate In some cases, postponement of elective surgery if significant gastric contents are identified There is no evidence that GLP-1 medications affect the efficacy of anaesthetic drugs, alter consciousness levels, or interfere with post-operative recovery in ways unrelated to aspiration risk
Limited, small-scale studies with methodological gaps

Higher concentrations of fasting plasma carotenoids and enhanced skin yellowing after lutein consumption demonstrate that lutein is also present in various regions of the human body, such as the skin, breast, brain, and cervix
